Teachers & Guidance Counselors

Students often turn to their art teachers and guidance counselors for help in navigating the application process, particularly the portfolio. This site is a resource for you as well. Encourage prospective students to read the information about what to include in a portfolio, and to research specific schools for specific requirements. We've compiled some general information and guidelines, but we're here to help!
